Jordan's advice to Thompson, Warriors: 'Go ahead and break the record'

Klay Thompson has said that his Golden State Warriors have every intention of breaking the 72-win record still held by Michael Jordan's 1995-96 Chicago Bulls.
Now, it seems, he has MJ's blessing to do so.
The Warriors are in the midst of the most inspired title defense in history, having hit the All-Star break with the best record (48-4) of all time - a game ahead of the '95-96 Bulls' pace.
A 25-5 record after the break - which, barring injury, actually seems plausible - would make these Warriors the best regular-season team to have ever existed.
